MIDDLEBORO – Police nabbed a bank robber who returned to the scene of the crime.

The South Main Street branch of the Rockland Trust Bank was robbed just before noon Friday and officer Timothy G. Needham recognized the man in a surveillance video from a recent traffic stop.

Police called in K9s to track the suspect, said Lt. Robert D. Ferreira Jr., but the suspect – Jason Sabia – strolled through the bank parking just before 2 p.m., and was captured by officer Michael P. Lonergan.

Sabia, 40, of Middleboro, was charged with intimidation to steal from a depository, unarmed robbery, witness intimidation and held without bail.

Ferreira said Sabia did not use a weapon but when he demanded cash he put the teller in fear. He did not disclose how much money was involved in the heist but said it was all recovered.

The bank was closed for about two hours after the holdup and customers were rerouted to branch less than a half-mile away.
